I picked up a copy of Trend Micro Internet Security from Wally World for $40. I have the firewall on highest and, it has not interfered with my internet speeds. I also went back to Comcraps blast internet package. Can someone provide me with some cablenut tweaks now for the Comcrap blast internet 20/4? I am getting about 60mb/4mb with my Docsis 3 6120.

I am using windows xp as this is a gaming pc. I like to run xp on it becuase it is lighter, and easier on rescources. There isn't a better firewall than the windows firewall that I can use that will not slow my internet down? I don't understand why someone would want to use a 3rd part firewall if it would limit there internet speed. Therefor, there has to be some time of work around. Can someone privide me with some more info on this? Thanks,Rocky

I have did some more research I uninstalled Avira, and the problem was gone. Then I decided to go with Microsoft Security Essentials, and Private Firewall. As soon as I installed Private Firewall the timeouts were back. Also, I noticed the slow speeds. I was only getting 1mb/.30kb. Is there a firewall that I can use that will not slow my internet speeds to a crawl? This seams to be the problem.
